As a wedding planner and designer born and based in Paris, this is a question my clients ask me at every wedding. I have therefore put together, here, a selection based on the experiences of my couples and their guests — Parisian hotels, sorted by style and budget, that I recommend depending on your needs: wedding night, close family, or a large group of guests.

Fancy an escape to the Azurean Montmartre?
Cagnes-sur-Mer's perched medieval village, Haut-de-Cagnes, has been nicknamed "The Little Montmartre of the Riviera" ever since Renoir settled there in 1908, captivated by its light and olive trees. The apartment itself is located in Le Cros-de-Cagnes, the old Genoese fishing village by the sea, with its colourful "pointu" boats and its Saint-Pierre chapel, known as "the yellow church."
This 45 sq. m apartment for 2 guests has been our second home since 1987, fully renovated in 2024–2025 with quality materials (genuine marble flooring, bespoke French joinery, solid Douglas fir glass partition). Its standout feature: a large 13 sq. m west-facing terrace, perfect for sunset aperitifs, and the beach just a 3-minute walk away.
